Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to “My Dear Ma,” Biloxi. Aleck and his brother officers are busy preparing for a call for service—they of course do not know when or where. I am enclosing a very interesting letter from Aleck Hall; don’t lose it. Bella is obdurate about going to Biloxi. The little boy’s description of a funeral., 1917 Feb 8

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists primarily of Skinker family correspondence, the bulk of which is between Thomas K. Skinker and his wife, Bertha Rives Skinker. The collection also contains several folders of tax receipts of Thomas Skinker dated 1839-1886. This finding aid was compiled by keying in the document descriptions on the folder covers. These document descriptions were presumably written by a Missouri Historical Society archivist soon after the collection was purchased in 1978.
